Aircraft are high value-adding and long-living assets, while aircraft cabins are expensive consumer products tailored to each customer. Vastly changing requirements and needs force aircraft holders regularly to instruct modifications in order to remain attractive on the market. Adaptations, modifications, and development of innovations are handled by multiple organizations, not by a central one like the aircraft’s manufacturer or owner. Although the Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization manages all aircraft instance-specific documents as required by aviation regulations, their format and types of management differ. Besides, not all information that arises during a parts design phase is included. That means, overall, the consistent model-based maintenance of data within all phases of PLM up to disposal is not guaranteed.

Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft, Revised Edition was developed to explain what the electric aircraft stands for by offering an objective view of what can be expected from the giant strides in innovative architectures and technologies enabling aircraft electrification. This edition features new illustrations and photographs throughout. Through tangible case studies, a deep insight is provided into this paradigm shift cutting across various aircraft segments – from General Aviation to Large Aircraft. Addressing design constraints and timelines foreseen to reach acceptable performance and maturity levels, Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft, Revised Edition puts forward a general view of the progress made to date and what to expect in the years to come.

Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft was developed to explain what the electric aircraft stands for by offering an objective view of what can be expected from the giant strides in innovative architectures and technologies enabling aircraft electrification. Through tangible case studies, a deep insight is provided into this paradigm shift cutting across various aircraft segments – from General Aviation to Large Aircraft. Addressing design constraints and timelines foreseen to reach acceptable performance and maturity levels, Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft puts forward a general view of the progress made to date and what to expect in the years to come. Drawing from the expertise of four industry veterans, Pascal Thalin (editor), Ravi Rajamani, Jean-Charles Mare and Sven Taubert (contributors), it addresses futuristic approaches but does not depart too far from the operational down-to-earth realities of everyday business.
